I just purchased this adapter for some testing here at PZ.
I did, of course, update the NEX-5 and the adapter to the latest firmware in order to support AF with SAM/SSM lenses.
However, the results are more than disappointing here.
The AF does something on the Sony 50/1.8 for instance but it does few things right - the AF is basically unusable here.
It's a little better with the 30/2.8 and 18-55/3.5-5.6.
Frankly it's not worth it if you ask me (vs a Leica M adapter).
